Download or read book Gyeongju written by Sarah Milledge Nelson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gyeongju, the capital of the Kingdom of Silla, grew from a loose confederation of villages, called Saro, to become the capital of most of the Korean peninsula. Its relationships with Japan, the Eurasian Steppes, and countries along the Silk Road leading to Europe helped to make the city one of the most prosperous and significant in ancient East Asia. In this seminal new volume, Sarah Milledge Nelson draws on over 30 years’ experience to offer the first complete history of this fascinating city. Gyeongju explores culture, class and rank, industry, international relations, rulers, and socio-cultural issues such as gender, and examines in detail the complex systems of class and rank, Gyeongju’s position as the royal seat of Silla, and the influence and legacy of the ancient city. Excavations in Gyeongju have provided evidence not only of the wealth and power of the monarchy, but also of production and agriculture, and the reach of Gyeongju’s trade routes, making this city a fascinating case study for the region. Augmented with extensive maps and images which illustrate the city’s rich history, this volume is crucial reading for anyone interested in the city, the kingdom of Silla, the history and archaeology of Korea, and early urbanism and state formation in East Asia.

Book My Gyeongju  South Korea  Photograph Memoir

Download or read book My Gyeongju South Korea Photograph Memoir written by Daniel Nardini and published by Xlibris Us. This book was released on 2024-05-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gyeongju, now a mid-sized modern city in the Republic of Korea (South Korea), was 1,400 years ago the capital of the Silla Kingdom. From 57 BCE to 935 CE, Gyeongju was the cultural, religious and administrative capital of a unified Korean state and the first true capital of Korea up to that time. In that ancient period, Gyeongju was three to five times larger than it is today. Filled with palaces, Buddhist temples and monuments, only a few remnants remain of the Silla Kingdom today. Nevertheless, those few historic sites are an impressive window into what the Silla era was like. The author visited these beautiful places to understand something about this part of Korean history. This work examines the five significant places in Gyeongju that bespeak of this city's rich cultural and historic past as the former capital of ancient Korea.

Download or read book Introduction to Korea written by Gilad James, PhD and published by Gilad James Mystery School. This book was released on with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Korea is a fascinating country located in East Asia, divided into two distinct regions: North Korea and South Korea. Korea has a long and complex history, with its civilization starting around 1392 when the Joseon Dynasty was founded. For several centuries, Korea's strategic location has made it the sight of several invasions and colonization attempts, including Japan's colonial rule over Korea from 1910 to 1945. The Korean War, which took place from 1950 to 1953, also impacted the Korean people, resulting in separation of North and South Korea. Despite a challenging past and political differences, South Korea has become a significant economic powerhouse and an entertainment hub, while North Korea remains a secretive and repressive state. South Korea, also known as the Republic of Korea (ROK), is a dynamic and modern country that is home to numerous corporations, including Samsung and LG. South Korea has undergone significant economic growth, and it has become one of the world's leading economies. Yet despite its economic success, South Korea is also home to some of the most unique cultures, including distinctive cuisine, traditional music, and festivals. South Korea is also famous for its entertainment industry, including music (K-pop), television dramas (K-dramas), and movies. North Korea is an enigma, rarely seen or heard about beyond government propaganda. It is led by the Kim dynasty and maintains strict control over its citizens. Over the years, North Korea has become famous for its nuclear program and human rights abuses, making it a topic of international concern. Despite their differences, both North and South Korea have an intricate and fascinating history and culture that continues to captivate the world.
